I'm not an internet jackass, I take pride in not being a homer although I love the Canes. Don't like his style of play and Coach L SHOULD be giving most of his minutes to Lonnie.
The issue is that lonnie's skills are largely a replication of browns skills, and you guys don't have a replication of DJ's skills (that is, a shooter who can attack a closeout, and knock down FT's at a respectable clip).
You have to have him in the game at the end of each half, because every other ballhandler on the team is a complete liability at the sin stripe.
If you wanted to give Newton's minutes to Walker, I think you'dhave a better argument, but there's also something to be said for being a senior and knowing what to do and where to go.
Finally some good insight instead of immediate defense. I understand your point, from a strategic standpoint it's probably the right call given spacing & free throws, but on the college level I just want the best 5 out there. If they can't hit free throws we're in big trouble come March anyway, better to start getting practice now.
I mean, is he better?
I'm sorry but I stopped reading after that. Lonnie is a better basketball player blindfolded.
